Slurry bugs opinions

[Sheepmansam]

Hi, does anyone use slurry bugs and how do they get on withthem. Do they leave tanks any easier mixed?

They do work we have been using them for many years. We use either Carrs or Mole own brand.

One thing to note when using any microbial slurry bugs is the presences of dairy chemicals, footbath solutions, wormers and antibiotics. They all kill microbes so the effects of a slurry treatment can vary massively depending on what's going in the slurry. There is at least one slurry conditioner that I know of that neutralises these and allows the microbes to work better, otherwise the microbes are all much of a muchness, bit like silage additives. Retention of N, less crust, less smell and easier to spread (umbilical especially) are all expected results of a successful treatment.
